It\u2019s not really news, so I\u2019ll spare you the frightening details of how warm our planet\u2019s set to become, or how quickly time is running out. But I will say this: we all need to act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s easier said than done, though. It can be difficult to know where to begin, or what behaviour to change. There\u2019s the obvious things, like cutting out single-use plastics, or driving less and cycling more. We\u2019ve been told what we, as individuals, can do to make a change. But it\u2019s not always as simple to make large-scale changes as a business or organisation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, the underlying cause of climate change is greenhouse gas emissions. And when we burn fossil fuels to generate energy, these harmful gases are emitted. It follows, then, that energy wastage and over-consumption play a starring role in the climate crisis. If we over-consume energy, more needs to be generated. But if we limit energy usage to only that which is necessary, the amount of energy produced is reduced in consequence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Energy consumption is something businesses and organisations should be mindful of. In fact, any business that seriously wants to achieve a reduction in their carbon footprint needs to dedicate themselves to an energy management plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But it can be difficult to know where to start. It\u2019s not always clear where and how energy usage can be limited, and this fact can complicate a business\u2019s implementation of its climate strategy. A company can vow to reduce its carbon footprint, but if it doesn\u2019t know where it\u2019s wasting electricity or fuel, how can meaningful changes be made? It\u2019s as the saying goes: you cannot improve what you do not measure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I believe that data collection and analysis is the key to an effective climate strategy. But merely collecting data isn\u2019t enough \u2014 nor is it necessarily helpful for some businesses. A bunch of meaningless numbers and uninterpretable factoids won\u2019t bring organisations any closer to their environmental goals. You don\u2019t have the time to be sifting through metre readings, unable to make heads or tails of the numbers you\u2019ve been given.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You need helpful, actionable data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is something Izon recognised a while back. We\u2019ve built an energy management platform that does all the hard work for businesses. We turn live data into information that actually helps you make quick decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Izon asset management platform provides users with useful, real-time data at a glance. Data from all assets is localised on one platform &#8211; in fact, on a single screen &#8211; making asset monitoring and energy management easier than it&#8217;s ever been. And the Izon asset management platform doesn\u2019t discriminate. No matter how big or small the assets, whether it\u2019s an office\u2019s HVAC system or an entire farm of wind turbines, Izon gathers all the data in one place.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The beauty of the Izon platform is that it\u2019s completely customisable \u2014 making it a tool that can be used by any business, no matter the industry or sector. Izon users can build a dashboard that works for them, a centralised location that showcases data tailored to business needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For businesses or organisations with various remote assets, the streamlined approach of Izon is particularly appealing. We\u2019ve helped clients like Granville Energy and Sea Source meet regulatory and sustainability requirements, building these two wildly different organisations an asset management solution that caters to their specific business needs. Izon works to understand its clients. We learn what businesses do and how they operate in order to build them a platform that shows them the information they actually need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019re also driven by results, and that fact is reflected in our software. The Izon platform makes immediate action possible, enabling businesses to be at the forefront of the battle against climate change, leading the pack. Insight provides the foundations for action, helping businesses and organisations to drive change in their respective industries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can\u2019t change what you don\u2019t know. It\u2019s time to take that first step towards knowing where your business is unsustainable, limiting energy waste, and reducing your organisation\u2019s carbon footprint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Realistically the first step is to have a demonstration. We know the sustainability journey can seem daunting, and how you traverse this is far from clear. We are always open to help advise, and show the possibilities that are open to you, which extend far beyond simple regulatory compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Stuart Lunn Sales Manager, getizon.com We\u2019re on the brink of a climate catastrophe.
